The popular Royal LePage Ladies Tillicum golf tournament was held Aug. 8 at Sunnydale Golf Course under rainy skies. With a total of 114 entries the course was busy but played well.
Winning the Royal LePage Team Trophy for low gross was the team of Sally Dobler and Josee Deslauriers from Morningstar Golf Course with a score of 72. They were followed by the team of Karen Kloske of Duncan Meadows and Bev Byerley of Sunnydale with 77.
The winners of the Eagle FM Radio low net trophies were Janet Edwards and Judy Brown from Glacier Greens with a 60. They were closely followed by Rona Lawson of Sunnydale and Pat Ailles of Comox who had 64.
The Friday night before the tournament we held an Individual Skills contest which consisted of a Long Drive, a Long Putt, a bump and run on #10 and a Chipping Contest on #9. Many ladies participated and the winner was Barb Dixson. There was a tie for second place between Pat Peden, Chris Frederickson, Maylene Friesen and Patti Harris. This was followed by our too popular Wine and Cheese welcoming. Our theme was Bling and many ladies arrived wearing all their family jewels!
“We thank our major sponsors of Royal LePage and Eagle FM Radio who are very generous,” a spokesperson said. “We also thank the many volunteers, Noah Koester who put on a top-notch magic act, our scorer John Davis, Comox Valley Catering, Aaron and his grounds crew, Robbie in the Pro Shop and all the businesses who donated door prizes. Everyone’s support is much appreciated.”
